R.S. Broomfield

R.S. Broomfield was a British judge in British India during the 1910s. He presided over Indian National Congress leader Mahatma Gandhi's sedition trial in Motihari, and he sought to clear the courtroom during the initial trial. However, the clergyman Charles Andrews had already gathered the press in the courtroom by sending them telegrams, and Broomfield would ultimately decide to release Gandhi without bail after Gandhi refused to pay the 100 rupee bail.
